One of the leading navigational applications, Google Maps, allows users to download the offline maps of the areas before they visit to save time and data usage.

The app’s Live View feature is getting a significant upgrade as it will now use augmented reality to overlay directions with arrows guiding you along the way precisely.

Westfield Malls is one of the first partners to feature in the update to help you find the store you’re looking for. The airports in Zurich and Tokyo are also set to be covered with the feature later this year.
